Making CmdLine work inside of quotes

[llssff]

I am trying to run an executable on a file that is given as a parameter of the AutoIt script. "auto3.exe myScript.au3 someFilePath"

Quote

Run( 'myExecutable.exe $CmdLine[1]' )

The issue is the quotes need to be there since Run takes one parameter, but with them there autoIt recognizes the parameter var as a String. 

Anyone have tips on how to make this work? or a better way to pass the parameter in?

[Luke94]

Run('myExecutable.exe "' & $CmdLine[1] & '"')

Above the parameter is wrapped in quotation's. Below, without.

Run('myExecutable.exe ' & $CmdLine[1])

You can use ExpandVarStrings option too

Hi Francesco

As far as I know, ExpandVarStrings does not work with arrays :

Example :

Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1) ; 0=don't expand(default), 1=do expand
If $CMDLINE[0] Then
    ConsoleWrite("ExpandVar : $CMDLINE[1]$" & @CRLF)
    ConsoleWrite("Normal    : " & $CMDLINE[1] & @CRLF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Error : no CMDLine parameters passed" & @CRLF)
EndIf

@llssff :

Here is a test script that considers the answers from @Luke94 und @FrancescoDiMuro :

(use clock.au3 as a parameter)

Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1) ; 0=don't expand(default), 1=do expand

; Example : uses the interpreter AutoIt3.exe (as macro) :
Local $sMyExecutable = @AutoItExe
Local $sMyScript

; Check, if a commandline parameter was passed (otherwise an error will occur).
If $CMDLINE[0] Then
    ; Example : path to the script : ..\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI\Advanced\ :
    ; ==> Use clock.au3 as CMDLine[1] (to quit the clock, use ESC)
    $sMyScript = StringRegExpReplace(@AutoItExe, "(?i)AutoIt3.exe$", "") & "Examples\GUI\Advanced\" & $CMDLINE[1]


    ; ==> Comment out one of the variants at a time :
    ; Variant 1 : start 'normal' :
    Run($sMyExecutable & ' "' & $sMyScript &'"')

    ; Variant 2 : use 'ExpandVarStrings' :
    ;Run($sMyExecutable & ' "$sMyScript$"')
Else
    ConsoleWrite("Error : no CMDLine parameters passed" & @CRLF)
EndIf
